It's on my to do list for today. I can remember the Hot Rod story on his Notch-back Barracuda with 340 six pack, This was his personal car or the one he loved to drive. Check out the story. I remember at Carlisle many years ago we had supper at the same restaurant and got to talk to him, what great times and stories. Claude Ruel

Herb, Thanks for the update. I will send a card out in the morning! Mr. Hoover is a real "First Class" gentleman. His excellent interview which he contributed to The Ultimate 68 Race Hemi Video, which we produced, was priceless! Having stars like Dick Landy, Ronnie Sox, and Mr. Hoover made the project a hugh success.

Mr. Hoover is a giant among men involved in the development of the American Muscle Car and racing.

I wish him well, and many more years of burning rubber, in a MOPAR of course!

I also remember the articles of his personal Barracuda, and would appreciate anyone scanning and posting them.
